The BAFTA-winning independent studio behind the beloved Monument Valley series, ustwo games, has released The Garden of Life, a free expansion for Monument Valley 3, now available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Steam. This update coincides with the highly anticipated re-release of the full game—including the expansion—on iOS and Android, following its console and PC debut in July 2025. Monument Valley 3 invites players to guide young apprentice Noor through a mesmerizing world of shifting architecture, rising tides, and impossible geometry as she seeks to restore the fading Sacred Light.

Critically acclaimed for its ingenious design, stunning aesthetics, and evocative soundtrack, the game boasts Very Positive reviews on Steam, with recent feedback at 98% positive.
The Garden of Life adds four new story chapters post-main game, where Noor explores breathtaking landscapes, manipulates structures, and shifts perspectives to uncover hidden paths. This expansion emphasizes a hopeful narrative of people uniting to build a new future, featuring some of the series' most inspiring puzzles. For the first time, players can discover optional hidden bonus puzzles by joining Boatem in a floating village journey. All future content, including this expansion, comes at no extra cost to owners.
